How do you stop a Garen?

Even if you keep Garen down early, his kit has high base damage and he's still going to be a threat to your squishies. It's less a case of 'he snowballs' and more a case of 'your team needs to protect your squishies properly'.

Garen is vulnerable to being kited about. Abuse that and he shouldn't be able to do an awful lot.

if you play as Fiora ,Shen, Pantheon and Sivir (if i'm not wrong her shield can block silence too) they can block the Q skill of Garen . but a good Garen will never use Q on these champions first, knowing that it can be blocked. a good garen will hit you repeadtly until you lose your passive and skill and then use Q on you.even if you stun him he will continue chasing you to death.

Poison can be a good option against Garen or something that slows him , Teemo ,Heimerdinger ,Signed,Yorick and even Kayle are good options. you must have a good strategy though.

i play garen alot. the champs i usually have a hard time dealing with are chogath, pantheon, and fiora. the best way you can counter a garen is to simply not let him get gold. when you attack him use 2 of your allies. dont go alone against garen unless your a stunner and hes a low level or else he will wreck your face.

Teemo, jayce and darius are champions that will shred garen to pieces. if he gets under leveled, he will be easily killed. hard cc like morgana will also prevent his q.

While teemo and jayce are hard with garen. When i play garen im actually excited to see darius top with me. Ive noticed the silence/spin combo works better than his combos. this has happened on several occasions. Maybe im just lucky with only facing one darius thats beaten me in the lane (out of about 5)
